News / Clout City Tipping your hand, maybe?
Posted by Mick Dumke on 05.09.08 at 04:04 PM
The Tribune reports today that officials from the Chicago Children's Museum decided to take their case for moving to Grant Park to their constituents--literally. In other words, they made their argument that this is all about the children to the children:
"As the children munched on pretzels and drank from juice boxes at the Harris Park Field House, Jim Law, the museum's vice president of planning and external affairs, said the project was good for families."
Odd? Perhaps. Exploitative? Some would say so. But here's where it gets really ... deep. The Trib reports the event was organized by one Georgette Greenlee-Finney, executive director of the Woodlawn Organization.
Greenlee-Finney's the wife of the organization's CEO and president, Leon Finney Jr. Finney, a big Daley ally, is a member of the Chicago Plan Commission, the body that's supposed to rule on the move next week.

pretzels & juice? couldn't Georgette arrange a decent BBQ spread? IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!
Leon Finney and his Woodlawn organization are as crooked as a bent nail. Reverand Doctor Leon Finney is nothling more than a lap dog for Daley and the University of Chicago. He is part of the reason why funding for the gang prevention cease fire was halted. Finney misappropriation of funds,whereby he forced field workers to do campaign for daley's minions.Finney and Authur Braizer head a group of boot lickin Black Preachers,whom wait for crumbs to fall off Daley's table. If it were not for corrupt States Attorneys,and former Daleyite US Attorneys Finney would be in an orange jump suit.
Daley has Uncle Tom's that hurt their own people. Just look at Cabrini and the West Side. Walter Burnett (who Terry Teele called Curious George) Daley also has some Aunt Jemimas Daley will hurt Obama Obama has no courage Finney is a joke One of the most pathetic Uncle Toms is Civil Service Board Revered Sweet Lucious Hall in his fancy cars
When dat mayer tells me to jump, eyes jump. When dat mayer tells me to screw kokonatti. eyes screw kokonatti. when dat mayer tells me to screw the brother and sisters for myselfs. eyes screw my people for myselfs.
Meester Daley, I sorry to you Puts the Ninos Museum in Pilsen We have 20 kids per apartment We need stuff for kids Pritzkers control credit bureaus and credit for usury We Meskins have lots of ninos and need musuems
If that sleazy bag Coco- whatever doesn't stop his slander of honest working people I will use my influence to have him fitted with an organge jump suit. He may lose his $75000 even before he receives the check. In other words keep your pie hole shut. And GOD BLESS THE MAYOR
McGinnis, It's Coconate. You should know my name by now. Your the one that had us ask City workers who's their clout. If the US Attorney ever asked about you ,I would put you in jail. But since your wife is a Judge, the US Attorney is scared of you. In regards to slandering honest people. Do you know any in the Daley Administration? Hows your propane gas tanks going in the Department of Water Management? They still blowing up gas lines and homes? Hows Mike Terranova doing? Your connection to the outfit. Hey next time you threaten me , do it in person . So I can slap your fat head!
The pretzels and juice are $10 a piece at the childrens museum. Sorry working class folk, this museum is premium prices. It is very high just for a Birthday party at the other one. This is not about children, certainly not poor or minority children, this is about rich adults with big egos
The Children's Museum is no different than Park Grill. Park Grill is the only resturant on Park District property that serves liquer. If the Human Resource Board had to decide about the Children's Museum, the Mayor would have it by now. Roger Balla would do what ever we ask him.
Roger Balla 128 south shore st,Island Lake, Il 600042-9513.847/487-1332. nEVER BROUGHT TO JUSTICE FOR HIS CRIMES . I hope the ghost of Jim McTigue HAUNTS THIS SLIMY PIECE OF MANURE.
Coconuts has told me ,before it's all over, he will spit in that glorified City Workers face! Now he knows Balla's address! Thanks Open Book!

This is not about children, certainly not poor or minority children, this is about rich adults with big egos" Then how did this supposedly charitable organization manage to be classified as a charity? Charity means giving, not taking. Sounds to me like this is another of the many scams passing itself off as a charity. No wonder the Stuttering Prick supports it.
To fellow posters who do not know of McTigue he was the lowly technician scapgoated by Daley the turd,for the great Chicago flood. Daley blamed McTigue instead of the incompetent Ben Reyes,for the flood. Balla,The Human Resources board,and Daley railroaded McTigue,McTigue died in poverty.
You are all a bunch of racists. Shame on the Tribune for hosting this kind of crap.
McTigue is a hero. Roger Balla is a bozo. However he is worse than bozo because he hurts innocent people.
Jolt your spin is lost on the fact that McTigue is thought of as a mans mans in Chicago . Unlike you sissy Daley guys, that run around talking behind peoples back. McTigue had something you Daley guys would't understand. He had values and dignity!
Hey guy!, Im in agreement with you whats with the slam. Daley didn't want to fire incompetent BEN REYES,to keep the Latinos happy. Harold Washinton would never let Leon Finney in his office. The world would be a better place without the Daley Administration. God bless Jim Mctigue.
